Removing Contingencies In California, there is a process of “active contingency removal.” This means buyers must remove them in writing. In other words, a contingency is not automatically removed. This applies even if the time frame for their removal passes.
The buyer has to provide one, or more, signed Contingency Removal forms. Each one removing, or more, of the contract contingencies. Once the buyer has removed all of them in writing, they may no longer receive a refund of their deposit.
A home inspection contingency means that the buyer's offer only stands dependent on the results of a home inspection. Within the formal offer, the contingency should include timeline details when it comes to getting the inspection completed. You can raise objections to the seller, and re-negotiate based on the results.
If the seller wants to enforce the deadline, they may send a Notice to Buyer to Perform, and then cancel the contract if the buyer still does not remove the contingencies.
The investigation of property contingency is the 7-day period during which buyer completes their due diligence and inspections. Before they remove this contingency they would need to have requested, negotiated, and resolved any repair requests with you, or credits in lieu of repairs.
